IL seems that the Railroad Commits
sioners OF Massachusetts are satisfied
that a system Of heating cars by steam
from the locomotive Is feasible, safe and
unattended by any serious difficulty. II
this be the case tue presidents OF the va
rious railroads of the country Will do well
to interview these commissioners at once,
and get the details OF their plan by which
steam can be made to take the place OF
stoves. Tue railroad presidents seem to
have views on this subject different from
those held by the commissioners. IL Is
seldom, however, that railroad presidents
and railroad commissioners think alike

Work for the Medical Congress.


A congress OF doctors will meet in
Washington next fall. The doctors will
come from every part of the world. This
congress IS triennial, the preceding
one having been held at Copenhagen,
and formally opened by King Christian.
This task will devolve upon President
Cleveland when it meets in Washington.
The congress will discuss questions
which are not only of interest TO doctors,
but to all the world. 1t is generally held
that the practice OF medicine has
made rapid strides during the last half
century. Doctors who would keep
abre asst OF their profession find it neces-
sary to spend all their spare
time in study, and in read
ing the many publications which
deal with medicine. Yet, notwithstand-
ing the claim that is made for the prac-
tice of medicine, it is a fact, not TO be
successfully contradicted, that the world
at large is very much befogged on the sub
ject OF the healing art. For this the doc
tors themselves are somewhat to blame.
The wide difference between the several
schools, especially between the schools
of allopathy and homeopathy, has re-
suited in casting doubt upon the wisdom
Of their adherents. These differences
have also destroyed to some extent faith
In the ancient myth of the infalibIity of
doctors. 1t is not strange that this is true,
for the wranglings of the adherents Of The
different schools have naturally caused
the world to believe that there is some
truth in tue charges which each school
makes against the other.
The Congress might do some good by
showing that there is merit in both
schools. 1t Will hardly be denied that
both have merit. There are certain
kinds of treatment which both schools
will doubtless admit are good. For in
stance, a famous old doctor, who for
many years had large and successful
practice in Putnam county, Ga, was in
the habit of recommending to most OF
his patients exercise, fresh air, sunlig ht,
water, simple diet and regular habits.
If they were too sick to take exercise,
he would recommend other remedies
and then say: "Take a dose of calomel
and trust in the Lord" 1t is probable
that the homeopathists would agree to all
of this except the calomel, and the alo-
pathsts would make no exception what
ever. The congress might suggest com
mon basis for the two schools, something
similar to that which the Putnam county
doctor found so satisfactory. 1t Use GER
tain that the efficiency Of the profession
would be increased if that which has
proven best in medicine should be siited
from that which is believed to do more
harm than good. Work. like this would
inspire the world at large with increased
confidence in the medical profession.

Her Voice Won the Cardinal.

from t1e FhtJd0e(Dhfd IsneS.
The good fortune of Ellen Seaman, a Young
Baltimore singer of more than ordinary
promise. is the subject of comment in tina!
city, the home Of that ardent lover of music
Cardinal Gibbons. 1t is related that about
one month ago Miss Seaman, who sung
usually in a small chapel in the southern part
of the city, was induced by the organist at the
Cathedral to sing the 20 SalutarIs Hostla''
while the Cardinal was on his throne at yes
pers. The girl had never sung in the great
Cathedral before, and IA she is very young
and modest, consented only after much solicit
tatiOn, At the opening of the solo her voice
was so faint and tremulOus that even the or
ganist feared she would be unable to pro-
coed, and looked anXiously at his pro-
tege from his perch in the organ loft. AS she
proceeded. however, she regalned confidence,
and in a little while the vast building re-
echoed TO tones so pure and sweet that all
ewes were turned toward the corner whence
they came. Even the Cardinal. who had sell
dom been known to turn His eyes from the
altar. faced the organ loft directly, and kent
his eyes ON the young singer till the end.
After the services he learned the young girls
name and the necessity which compelled her
to work in a cigarette factory, ami then sent
for her and offered to pay her expenses while
studying music In Italy. The offer was ac
cepted by the young girls friends, and she
will soon be among the students at the Con =
serVAJJry in Florence.

A girl that's short is worse than all;
A girl that still / would not WOO,
A glrl that's pert is odlous. too;
] sigh not for the girl that's fat.
And one that's lean is worse than that;
/ would not court the one that's old,
Unless, indeed, she's got the gold;
And one THAT'S young would not wed,
For youth is tickle, so tits said;
l would not have girl that's falr.
And one that's dark | cannot bear;
A girl of sense ! could not rule,
And vet | would not wed fool;
A flirting girl would not take,
For she my heart would surely break;
A girl that talks from morn till night,
l always LOOK on with alright;
/ ind it very hard to suit,
Because Of having so much fruit;
No pick had Adam, believe
The only woman then was Eve:
But he no doubt deemed her prize
He took her and lost Paradise!

The Presidents Growing Popularity.


An effort OF course VIII be made to pass
the dependent pension bill over the Presl-
denps veto. There are some demagogues
in Congress who will try to make capital
for themselves by a great display OF SYM
patty for tne soldier element, and in view
OF the fact that many Congressman dare
not vote in accordance with their convic-
tons in pension matters. for fear OF offend
ing some of their eX-soldier constituents,
it is not improbable that very respect
able vote against the veto may be mus
tered.
But there is no danger that the bill Will
be passed over the veto. Congress under
stands that it is neither wise nor pop
ular measure, and, doubtless, many OF
those who voted for 1t were secretly glad
that the President vetoed it. Some OF
them, however, having voJed for it origin
ally, may lack the courage 10 sustain the
veto. The fear OF being beaten for re-
election may make them do what they
believe to be wrong. The Republicans, as
party, do not seem to know what course
to take with regard to the veto. Their
are silent. To condemn it may be great
mistake for them, because it now looks
as If it would be very popular, even with
Republicans.
From all quarters OF the country the
President has received praise for his
courageous course. He is more popular
now than he was few days ago. The
people are beginning to understand that
they have man for President who is
neither mere politician nor a derha-
gogue, and that to their Chief Executive
they can trust their rights and interests
with entire confidence.
In the South especially the veto is popu-
lar. The Southern Congressman have
never opposed just and proper pension
legislation, and they have been silent
when pension bills have been passed
which ought to have been defeated. They
felt that they could not oppose such bills
without creating a feeling of hostility to
the South. Ii they had risked creating a
feeling of that kind they might have
| saved the country from part of the
heavy burden which unjust pension legis-
lation has imposed upon It.
The firm stand OF the President against
private pension bills first aroused the at
tention OF the country to the immensely
of the pension charge which the Repub-
lican party was creating with the hope of
regaining its hold upon popular favor.
His veto of the dependent pension bill,
therefore, found the people prepared to
appreciate and approve it.
II this Ubiquitous pension legislation
had not been checked, $15000O,0O0 a
year might have soon been required for
pensions alone. This immense sum,
partly drawn from the South, would have
been distributed throughout the already
rich North.
1t is said in Washington that the veto
has made the South solid for Mr.. Cleve-
land in 1893. 1t is certain that the South
could not support any other man for
President who would administer the gov
eminent with greater Impartiality.

A Chance for Savannah Capits

n ChanCe Tor savannah Capital,
A few days ago the Philadelphia Rec
| ord published an article inquiring why
| 1T is that South Carolina can't utilize all
of her phosphate rock instead of export
ing part of 1t to England, where it is
manufactured into fertilizers and shipped
back to Southern ports and sold to South
ern planters.
The News and Courier in answer says
that there are sixteen companies now
engaged 10 mining land rock. and twenty
companies and individuals mining river
rock in that State, and that their COM
bined capital is $4,000 900. 1t also points
out that there are fourteen manufacto-
ries of phosphate fertilizers in the State
whose aggregate capital is $4,000, 900.
The value OF their product last year was
So, 900, 900.
South Carolina, from this showing, is
pretty we'll supplied with manufactures
of phosphate fertilizers, and supplies
big trade In sixteen States. When it is
remembered that this business is of a
comparatively recent growth in South
Carolina, and. that there is not great
vi CdplJdi IutT6 Invest
ment, it will be admitted that the State is
doing pretty well toward making the
most out of her phosphate rock.
The surprise is not that South Carolina
has not done better, but that she has done
so we'll. There is good ground for eur.
prise, however, that Savannah has not
made more OF her opportunities in con-
nection with the fertilizer business.
There is no reason to doubt that factory
for the manufacture of acid phosphate
would pay handsomely in this city. The
rock could be brought here about as
cheaDly as 1t is taken to Charleston, and
there would be very great demand for the
product OF the factory, and that, too, at a
remuneratives price. There is plenty of
idle capital mere looking for investment,
and IL is rather remarkable that some Of
it is not offered for investment in fac
tory of this sort. The South Carolina
factories pay handsomely, and there is no
reason why factory would not do the
came thing here.
